Black currant opulence. Nice supporting acid, integrated tannins... could age for a few years.

Rich, dark, earthy and a bit dense. With a 2 hour decant the wine opened up nicely

Doubtless one of the best Grenache wines available - from anywhere. I love this stuff!

Came off a bit disjointed and flabby which isn’t Helen’s style.

Integrating, still so much fruit on first open. Treat yourself during these crazy covid times and unwind with this gorgeous effort from Helen as you unwind over the evening and the next day with this bottle. Could cellar for another 5 but tempting over the next few years.
